A couple corrections. With PvP you can go down ranks, just not tiers. So you can drop from Silver 1 to Silver 2. But you CANNOT drop from Silver 3 to Bronze 1. Also, for the "glass and headgear" thing, they have it already, they are fashion accessories and they have certain restrictions. They can't be worn in combat so it's pretty much a gpose feature.

[@dale7326]

SE gonna pay for your sub if you get in top3 players I think. Pretty much ppl are concerned about PvP won’t be a huge success in XIV because ppl don’t have motivation and they will win trading to get something out of that. So pretty much you can look at the record to see how that work if they give you crystals to exchange for something on Mogstation likely. Just a thought though

Also, don't be afraid of Unreal. It's just old extreme content synced up to level 90 so you can use all your shiny skills, with a proportional increase in boss HP. If you cleared EX1 and 2 already, you've got the skills for it. Give it a shot and you may enjoy it!

[@JustDeku]

I appreciate you explaining it like this lol, "Unreal" sounds terrifying. I'll try to check it out!

Unreal is harder than Extreme because not only is it sync'd up, but you are sync'd to minimum ilvl. You can't overgear it.

[@burkhalter83]

@@GetterRay fair enough point, though I'm also aiming this at folks who cleared EX1 and EX2 on launch (Bellular and his gang did before the crafted stuff came out), so they essentially min iLeveled that. It's some fun content that I hope others give a shot!

[SPOILERS:] The great thing about the shards is that they aren’t alternative universes, it isn’t a multiverse - all the shards histories can be traced all the way back to the unsundered world. But a multiverse does exist thanks to g’raha time travelling in SHB

@@ann._.skz21 Wouldn't it be more like literaly other planets? If I understood things right. If you haven't finished EW SPOILERS! Thancred asked the Loporits if they can make a stop at the First, but they said that they don't have the ressources/time to do a stop there. Meaning by traversing space you're able to reach the other shards. On the other hand time moves differently in each shard, but I'm not so educated on the relativity of time on other planets.

[@smward87]

The term you're look for is parallel universes. They are different universes that exist side by side but are not mirrors of each other.

[@kuronaialtani]

@@jackbordar2727 they are their own stars, yes (planets are called stars for an easy term in English, the direct translation is more like “celestial body”) But the rift is still omnipresent between the shards and it’s why the crystal tower had to be augmented to traverse the rift in the first place, crossing time itself aside Though I will say that the devs kind of wrote themselves into a corner with us going to and from The First, seeing as it literally can’t advance in time as it would anymore, since it needs to be permanently open for exploration as of ShB, whereas they could easily cross tens if not hundreds of years before the launch of 5.0 (which they did to split up the time from ardbert returning to the exarch’s arrival to emet making vauthry to the arrival of the scions to us)

[@ablox1166]

Looking forward to the new alliance raid. Side note- This isn't the first original alliance raid for FF14, Void Ark series from HW was also completely original. Nier, CT, and Ivalice were all inspired by other games/worlds.

[@syllawblood]

For some reason I thought it had to do with vi's war of the magi... But I was way off. I had not played vi back then.

[@Boyzby]

@@syllawblood I think it's because Diabolos was originally in Amdapor, which was relevant for some reason to the War of the Magi in like the 5th or 6th era.

[@jude2214]

Honestly the fomo for the pvp isn't that bad. The matches look like they'll go super quick, so doing like one a day to progress won't take long at all. Plus the rewards are obtainable for like 6 months after, which is wicked nice

[@christabelle__]

Matches will literally only be 5 minutes long!

[@DameonStarflame]

And I think they mentioned that eventually they'll end up randomized in with other rewards in another PVP thing? Unless I'm confusing that with something else related to PVP rewards, but I remember them saying something that the rewards won't be 100% gone, just temporarily away.

[@GetterRay]

I don't think that FOMO is that bad. You get 8 months and who knows if they'll be put in rotation later. The amount of PVP glams and mounts lost to time is staggering already and this is much more fair than it was before. I don't think that everything needs to be in the game forever, PVP seasons, seasonal rewards, as long as its fair its not a problem. I know Bellular has FOMO-brainrot that caused him to rush MSQ to the point where basic themes and plot points in Endwalker flew over his head but for most people they shouldn't feel any pressure.

[@tinyjazzhands2074]

Fomo is bad regardless of how you present it

[@petriew2018]

depends a lot on what the rewards are and how much they cost. If it's FOMO coupled with an insane grind that'll force you to do it for 2 hours a day... yeah, that's bad if you can get the 'good stuff' just by playing a few matches a day, that's perfectly acceptable. the only people 'missing out' are the ones who simply don't want to do it personally i kind of trust them not to lean into the former, since that's not the philosophy Yoshi-p has, but the devil is in the details

[@troubiemakie]

im so excited for the 24 man given theyve set a precedent for alliance raids becoming msq relevant before with the crystal tower. the sheer quality of the fights and the areas themselves look amazing as well.

[@GamestMesa]

most compainies spread out content for retention, ffxiv spreads out content because it would be to overwelming for players to release at once

[@CycloneFox]

Small corrections: 4:36 You got the point. But where the references belong is a bit off. (still true somehow) - The Crystal Tower is an FF3 reference. That's also where dwarves with their "Lali Ho!" come from as well as other music from Shadowbringers. But every expansion has tons of references to other FFs, like Moon and Loporrits (with their naming-conventions and music too) in Endwalker are all from FFIV. - Ivalice is full of Final Fantasy Tactics references, yes. But It references all of the Yasumi Matsuno games. That includes FF Tactics, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII and smaller titles like Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders. In fact the whole Southern Front questline in Shadowbringers was based on the original script pitch for Vagrant Story 2, which never came to be. Btw. Yasumi Matsuno is also a good friend of Hironobu Sakaguchi the original creator of Final Fantasy and avid player of FFXIV. When Sakaguchi started playing FFXIV last year, Matsuno helped him play through the game. Sakaguchi loved FFXIV now too and was pleasantly surprised by all the references.

[@Pocchari]

I’m actually kind of excited about shoulder speakers. My eardrum was ruptured a few years ago and my ENT said I shouldn’t wear earbuds (which always hurt me and are uncomfortable anyway, no matter the size) and headphones give me really bad headaches. This is perfect for me.

[@Dewkeeper]

There's also bone conduction headphones, those may also work for your purposes

[@Pocchari]

@@Dewkeeper Oh yeah, I’ve wanted to try those, just haven’t gotten around to it! I play on console but the few (short) times I’ve worn headphones have really enhanced the experience.

[@Dewkeeper]

@@Pocchari I own an older pair and I really enjoy listening to podcasts on them. Fidelity-wise they're a bit lacking so music might sound a bit off depending on how exacting you are, but generally speaking the experience of using them is spot on! Just make sure they fit well, because poor contact with your head can worsen the sound quality a lot.

[@nirobu]

Those adventure plates sound like the guild cards from monster hunter but more customizeable

[@weedgoku69]

the twelve are definitely the bosses. we saw what looks very obviously like byregot, azeyma, rhalgr, and nald’thal in the trailer

[@mati12554]

I really like what they did with ranking system, the fact that you cant drop to lower rank literally removes a lot of toxicity that would be present when everyone would try to climb the ladder like in LoL or CS or Valorant.

[@dale7326]

Technically you can’t but also you can’t go fast either if you lose a lot. Aside those other games are F2P, this game is a sub and mmo, which has different mentality than moba games since the chance that ppl will drop it after few months in is there. Hence they need a motivator or something to keep things run smoothly when needed

[@mhaeric]

As someone who has played since early 1.0 it sometimes amazes me how far this game has come and how much stuff is still being added. When I bought a hard copy of the game at an EB games the clerks literally scoffed, told me I shouldn't waste my money and asked if I really wanted to buy it. I had no regrets back then and that has never once changed while sticking with it throughout the years. This patch is good and I'm hyped for the 24 person raid, but I'm really looking forward to the island farm next patch.

[@narius_jaden215]

To be fair, not many companies could even pull this sort of come back off, let alone want to attempt it. The fact that it was a mainline final fantasy and their reputation was on the line brought about this miracle xD.

[@IceAokiji303]

I'm gonna toss in a prediction about the alliance raid series. Founded on very little, mind you, but just for fun. We are pretty clearly fighting the Twelve or something very closely connected to them, as the big guy with hammers has Byregot's symbol on those hammers. The first raid seems to contain the lightning and fire -aspected divinities: Byregot, Rhalgr, Azeyma, and Nald'thal. Everything we see matches them pretty nicely. Now, what this makes me think of is that we may be following the Eorzean wheel of elemental creation. It went something like this: *lightning* strikes down and creates fire, *fire* burns things and creates ash/dust (earth), within the shade of the *earth* ice forms, *ice* melts into water, *water* evaporates and creates wind, *wind* forms clouds from which lightning can strike again. So who would we bee fighting in the following raids? Well, next would be earth and ice, so Nophica and Althyk, then Menphina and Halone. With Ishgard, we've heard the name of Halone probably more than any other one of the Twelve (Nald'thal, the presumed final boss of the first one, is probably #2 because of "Thal's balls" :p), so it'd be fitting for her to also be the final boss of one of these. The final one would be water and wind: Nymeia and Thaliak, and finally Llymlaen and Oschon. Which one would be the actual last one I'm not as confident on here. But my guess would be on Oschon, _the wanderer,_ or in other words, *_the Adventurer._*

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

I'd argue Rhalgr is in the running for #2 on the "most mentioned member of the Twelve" list, due to how often Ala Mhigans invoke his name.

[@IceAokiji303]

[@CADPgamer]

If you're levelling up other classes, it's also a good idea to take a look into the tribal quests from Heavensward up to Shadowbringers. Doing them regularly helps you get a nice amount of exp for their respective level brackets, especially since starting from Heavensward, they actually level sync the dailies.

[@KamiSlayer86]

[@sirf4ce]

When Emet started talking about the things he'd seen that you hadn't, it reminded me immediately of the Roy Batty "Tears In Rain" monologue from Blade Runner. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate." It's such a wonderful morsel at the end of a long journey to wet your appetite and get you excited for more.

[@lhfirex]

Shoulder speakers and stuff are pretty much related to the Japanese high-tech image, but as for why so much of this comes with FF14... the Japanese PC gaming market is like 90% dating sims and H-games, with the other 10% pretty much being FF14 and Falcom. Those companies with some bizarre, highly specialized PC equipment are gonna hop onto whatever big mainstream JP PC title they can. Square Enix gets money for branding it with FF14, the makers get money from sales, diehard fans buy it for some reason, and the game gets some small setting option for anyone who did buy it.

[@Boyzby]

Apex?

[@TerryVideoZone]

I would argue the indie and lower-budget developer scene for japanese PC gaming is also becoming pretty significant. Lots of really great non-visual novel niche games being made by individuals and smaller groups as of late; it's a real breath of fresh air if you're like me and getting sick of the constant slightly-different flavours of open world game that western developers are obsessed with. Although I guess NIS has been teetering on the verge of bankruptcy for a good while... Bigger companies have also been getting pretty good about including PC in their multiplat releases as well though.

[@AuspexAO]

The alliance raids usually are sets of 7 encounters, so I imagine there's more than just the 12 in there.

its enough to fill 3 raids, 4 major encounters and 3 trash stuff in between so its ok

[@guiliguilde]

It's usually four big bosses per Alliance Raid.

[@Shiirow]

[@DawnAfternoon]

And it's tradition that every last boss of the final alliance raid to be two-parter, too.

[@TerryVideoZone]

@@DawnAfternoon not always the case though, although if nald'thal is the last boss of the raid, it is a dual-aspected god so two phases could make sense. Maybe phase 1 has the raid fighting both aspects separately and phase 2 has them together, or vice-versa.

[@Kujar3Player]

For all the new XIV players, welcome to the very predictable patch cicle, the only thing that's less predictable are the ultimates. They really did want to have 3 per expansion but Shadowbringers didn't quite pan out that way obivously with Stromblood 'only' having 2. We have two confirmed for Endwalker so would not expect 3 either. Other than that what you can expect right now a patch every 4 or so months. For the raiders x.1 has a new 24Man, x.2 continues to 8 man savage raids, x.3 second wing of the 24Man, x.4 last part of the savage raid, x.5 the last wing of the 24Man with presumably 2 ultimates inbetween, I would expect the second one to come around with 6.5 here. Of course every patch (x.1,x.2,x3 and so on) brings on a new Extreme trial as well where the x.1 trial is the end boss of the expansion. They didn't talk about relic weapons yet but these are also continued on a patch cicle and it's looking like 6.2 or 6.25 will be when this is going to launch, this also brings a new explorable zone like Eureka or Bozja to the mix. You will soon recognize the pattern and it'll be pretty much the same going into 7.0 -> 7.55, unless they drastically change things but this is working really well so wouldn't expect any big changes to the formula. They always surprise us with something in the middle too where they try something new or what have you. This time it's the revamped PvP, and of course the upcoming Island Sanctuaries.

I've dabbled in pvp a little but am not super keen to play it all the time so I'm hoping the new changes make it more attractive. Been wanting the dyable Makai gear for a while so that's definitely going to keep me in for a bit if nothing else.

[@lorospact]

@@Draylin41 If the match times are short enough, it'll help with hopping on and just PvPing. Shorter matches mean faster queues, since it'll cycle people through the instances faster. Which means it's much easier to jump on, run three or four matches, and then hop off. Smaller team sizes than Frontlines also means I can probably get a few friends together to smash out some PvP. It's much easier to mix into a day's gameplay than the current modes.

[@PGAnubis]

I'd say for this ultimate and where you're at, watch some of the world first proggression streams. Usually the ultimates are designed with a couple stump the raider mechs which makes just watching or keeping track of the fight progress pretty enjoyable.

[@GrandMagusDK]

You'll most likely have to clear the current Savage to unlock the Ultimate. At least that's how it's been so far.

[@TerryVideoZone]

yep, I wouldn't expect for the requirements to have been changed, although the only condition is the final fight of the tier so once the progression requirement for the savage tier is removed you only have to worry about clearing that last fight, which can eventually be outgeared later on to skip mechanics. It works as a decent enough stopgap around the release window to prevent people who can't clear the savage tier from attempt something that's even more gruelling to prog.

[@Tubleorne]

Don't be worried about just hopping into a brand new EX or hell even ultimate. Nobody expects to clear it right away, but people wanna see what the fights about and try to piece it together. When Pandemonium savage came out just hopping into a PF group and try to figure out the fight was some of the most fun i've had in XIV. Tying to pick up patterns on what happens, trying to think of how to solve it. This is why I generally do not recommend looking up guides for story content. What's better than a brand new bossfight and you trying to figure out how to beat it? Especially when it's tuned in a way that you can beat it even if you never seen it before. For the Ultimate you will have to clear P4S but you could definetly hop into EX3 and see whats up.

Yoshi-P said specifically that any place named at any time in any way in game will be a place we visit.

[@Trickstar117]

Paid an extra 50 for that skin for the speaker. Honestly it's extremely comfortable and the sound quality is alright. Bass is a little lacking but you can tell if was designed with XIV in mind.

[@sgt391]

I love that Yoshi-Pog image xD

[@TutorialBear]

You know I feel like people are forgetting the line where I think it was Alisae askes Livingway about trying to rescue the people of the other reflections and she said no it would take too much time which they do not have... meaning the Lopporrits have a means to travel to the other reflections I guess we will just have to wait till the patch comes out if Y'shtola asks them or if they happen to overhear a conversation about traveling to other shards being easy.

[@Poldovico]

I don't remember that. I remember Thancred asking, and Livingway saying Hydaelyn's plan did not involved the reflections at all. In fact, I remember no indication at all that you could do something like drive a spaceship to the reflections or anything of the sort.

[@ObsidianCrane]

I have a theory that the 12 are idealised versions of the Ancient's "Council" that summoned Zodiark.

[@KingLoggFrogg]

I’m so so interested for your take on Hildy when you get there!

[@xlashe]

i know you meant 'super natural' as in very natural but also im going to choose to hear that as 'supernatural' for the memes. bring us the monsters and demi-humans!

[@sweatyraider7241]

God damn I was expecting a complete power reset and a normal set up adventuring story but yoshiP is like hell naw go and smack the gods. And also dragonsong ultimate holy cow sadly we do not have the coverage of WoW RWF I bet it will break viewership record

[@MegaAndyGG]

6.1 HYPE IS REAL!!!! 🙌👌🖤🖤

[@TheDragonshadow1231]

Definitely, we will have Semi-Antagonist and main actual Antagonist so two side heh. 7.0-8.0 nice

[@wolfhorn9418]

A lot of the enemies shown are actually from XI so it might be a nod to that

[@TerryVideoZone]

XIV has been ripping models from XI since at least 2.x, so this isn't exactly a new concept. Hell, there was even the crossover event with rhapsodies of vana'diel where you could get Iroha's armor, and Eureka also uses some upscaled armor models from XI as well.

[@srnigromante9214]

The Shadows of Mhach alliance raids are all original. Except for the bosses i guess.

[@laurenlunamar4729]

Unlock the Savage for Alexander and I believe I unlock the Savage for omega I believe they only did the last Savage so that way I can get the outfit so I think I qualify for the further Omega content coming out

[@rafagd]

Just in case people don't know, two totems in EX3 is probably a sign it's going to be a long ass fight. They double the totems for those.

[@TheDragonshadow1231]

@Bellular Gaming. If you are here? The story set up 7.0 Meracydia to 8.0 going 13th void that Ighyerom Ascian who got destroy by WoL brought by Azurite destroy once 13th Calamity and heal again and thus Emperor Xande with influence by Emet and Fandaniel there that Xande causing 4th Calamity destruction of Bahamut in Southern Eorzea Meracydia big island. Thus, Crystal Tower become void and voidsent sent to Meracydia. Dragon were origin from "DragonStar" with Midgarstorm until Omega race invade them. Midgarstorm Father pick up the egg all the brood and went unto Hydalean world and set food on Meracydia. Omega same their own planet something happen set foot on Dragonstar then to Hydalean world. Azadja and Varshana were the 2 dragon sibiling venture unto 13th to Void-world until Azadja went missing suck by Voidworld so considered missing sibiling from Midgarstorm Father. Varshana plan to rescue Azadja venture unto "13th" with Scion-WoL Help! The 4 is the throne elemental and with black-knight on throne sitting is "Golbez" main villian FF4 who been mind-control by Zelmus another big baddie influencer. Whom, I think his goal is to set wage war and set it right back to original star 13th? Idk. Last but not least that is Zenos voidsent who make him become Reaper in the 13th went back after Zenos die we 1v1 him. Only, issue is Zelmus or Golbez be the real main Anatagonist for 7.0-8.0? or it someone else we not sure. They. might be just semi-Anatagonist not in-actual we may never know.

[@SigmaTheWhiteFlame]

If the lost rewards eventually come to treasure events then I'll be happy. But right now because trial players are still locked out of PVP for over a year despite being told it would only be temporary. The pressure on trial players to pay to play is at an all time high.

[@Poldovico]

To be fair, it IS a trial. It's a demo, not a f2p option.

[@SigmaTheWhiteFlame]

@@Poldovico That's not what the terms of service says. If trial players aren't allowed in PvP I'd be cool with that if they just said it. Instead when trial accounts were banned from PvP they specifically states that it would be temporary. That was over a year ago with no updates. Like if they just come out and say "Sorry with are making the PvP restrictions permanent" I'd be sad but I would understand it. This silence is not what I want to see from companies. It feels like we are being strung along a bit.

[@supersonicgamerguru]

To my knowledge, they never said the rewards would expire. I'm pretty sure they even gave an example where if you joined during a later series you could still buy everything from all previous series.

[@seluhir8820]

They've been cautioning that the Tataru's Grand Adventure will likely require completion of the alliance raid, the normal raid, and the expansion post-patch trial series. So if you're looking for specific things to do to prep for upcoming content... those are great places to start.

[@fatmatt589]

They've said the Tataru questline will be about saying thanks to everyone that helped out at the end of the MSQ... which was pretty much every NPC from every large quest line in the game. So if you haven't done the corresponding quests, they didn't show up at that point in your game.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

I'm curious what you thought about watching the devs actually playing their own game?

[@FriezaReturns00001]

Pff that's a silly question, we already knew this and Bellular has even posted a video about it like months ago. It's kinda common knowledge, even Yoshi-P said that he plays the game and even to the point where if a scheduled release was apparent he'd take time off to just level up in the game.

[@Lordoftheapes79]

@@FriezaReturns00001 I think you need to reread my post. Clearly you read "devs playing their own game" and immediately went to snarky criticism.

[@CybersteelEx]

@@Lordoftheapes79 obvious dig against actibliz and that interview with baldman

[@everyonethinksyoureadeathm5773]

It's fomo in a sense, but they do a good job of rotating the rewards or just placing those items as wolf mark purchases once enough time elapsed.

[@NakuruKouChannel]

i just wanted to ask THE THUMBNAIL. HOW.

[@Valkross9]

About the PVP Crystal rewards, is it really FOMO if the reward would be up, if I'm correct, for 7-8 months? Series 1 rewards would be up from 6.1 to 6.3, a 6.x patch lasts about 3.5 to 4 months, so the rewards would be up for 8 months, except for the series level 25 reward armor.

[@kiba986]

Eh, I can get why people see the PVP set as a bit like Bolvar but it screams more Dark Souls 3 to me! Either way, love it.

[@Daicarrus]

If you get 2 totems per clear, it's either very hard or very time consuming.

[@tjl9458]

Just so it's clear, when you enter the lottery to buy a house, you have to put the full amount upfront. Confirming the purchase is just that, confirming it. If you don't confirm, you only get 50% back. If you fail to win the lottery, you get the full amount back.

[@JackgarPrime]

Feels great being able to watch a new patch trailer as soon as it drops, eh? The patch trailers always make folks get hyped, as someone who has been caught up through the whole life of the game since ARR.

[@vyris2663]

Kaiten being removed from SAM is frustrating. They're cutting a fun ability for bloat above 4-6 better options.

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

From the perspective of a SAM main: Is Kaiten fun? About the most fun part of it I can think of is the animation, but I can live with that being removed if I don't have to remember to hit Kaiten before every Iaijutsu. Like, Kaiten is a poster child for actions that could be removed to reduce bloat without it seriously impacting the gameplay of the job. I will agree there is at least one other action that could also be trimmed out, though. Looking at you, Third Eye... I am curious what better options you have in mind.

[@vyris2663]

@@WhatKindOfNameNow It's a unique ability with satisfying sound/animation. Removing it also kills Kenki meter management. Ikishoten upgrading Shinten/Kyuten into Guren/Sensei removes 2 buttons without changing our rotation.

[@WhatKindOfNameNow]

@@vyris2663 The hell do you mean meter management is nonexistent without Kaiten? We still have 9 other actions that either increase or spend our Kenki outside of our main combo actions. Unless you mean "we don't have to make sure we have 25 kenki on demand for when we need to Iaijutsu," then sure, meter management is dead. I certainly wouldn't mind Ikishoten changing Shinten and Kyuten into Senei and Guren, but that lack of actual mechanical change is kind of the issue. It solves button bloat, but not action bloat. Kaiten was extraneous, outside of having a cool aesthetic.

[@TerryVideoZone]

@@vyris2663 I understand your frustration with losing spenders. WAR just doesn't feel the same anymore either.

As a ninja main, I'm happy we're no longer gonna be called the "Trick Attack" class. On the downside we will be called the "mug" class, which I'm not entirely sure is a plus.

I dislike PvP on the whole, but this new mode seems actually fun and I'm excited to try it. Especially since I'm a huge GARO fan and I procrastinated too long to get the gear the first time around.

[@HiroesX81]

Alot of ppl are optimistic about this new pvp mode afree things like feast, rival wings and the fold didnt end up feeling as good. Im cautiously optimistic

[@Sazandora635]

6.1 sounds like a lot of content on paper but the reality is most of it is stuff that can be blown through in a matter of a couple days, excluding the time-gated tribal quests/custom deliveries, the new ultimate, and the PvP "battle pass". 6.2 onwards is when they typically start introducing the stuff with more longevity like the relic questlines and the associated instances.

[@Goneth]

I use shoulder speakers at work because it's a factory job so the repetiveness of doing the same thing for 12 hours is unbearable. I've had them for about 4 or 5 years and they've worked perfectly so far, they look weird and don't sound great if you're not wearing them but once you have them on they sound is much clearly and they definitely have some bass to the output and feel of them. It still amazes me how awful low grade speakers they sound like if you aren't actually wearing them but the quality changes so much once you have them on. I'd be pretty interested in buying them if the actual design of the speakers is better and offer a more comfortable fit or perhaps are lighter than the ones I'm using now.

[@Scapemaster00]

I'm excited for the Alliance Raid to come back to "FF14 Lore" Like Void Ark. Nier was OK, but it was so far removed from anything to do with 14 it didn't have the same impact or interest to me as the other 24 mans.

But diablos is a FFVIII reference, friend.

Giving 2 totems was actually done before. This is basically an indicator to any veterans that the fight will be quite a long encounter.

They also gave us 2 tokens for Diamond which was one of the easier Extremes we had and also a rather short fight.

[@Ketsuekisan]

@@glain42 I'm pretty sure they also said we would get 2 totems for Ruby Weapon, but then changed their minds, and Ruby deserved 2 totems WAY more than Diamond did.
